Samsung Display to Expand Its AMOLED Business Beyond Smartphones
Samsung Display plans to expand its production of AMOLED displays for the U.S. on a massive scale beginning this quarter, targeting the premium IT markets.
The company hosted Samsung AMOLED Forum 2019, an in-depth technical seminar for the U.S.-based global computer ecosystem, in Silicon Valley (May 14-15).
It has also has begun presenting AMOLED technologies and 5G integrated solutions to computer OEMs around the world.
AMOLED displays are known not only for outstanding color reproduction, but also for properties that enable low power consumption, ultra-slim bezels and especially ‘thin-and-light’ designs.
For example, Samsung Display said that AMOLED panels deliver the best display specifications for notebooks, by enhancing the mobility and streaming capabilities for high-resolution gaming and graphics content.
In presentations, the technology giant is also highlighting AMOLED display solutions that have been optimized for cloud and streaming services that speed up the commercialization of 5G technology.
In addition, the company has revealed a wide range of next-generation products including an unbreakable display, a hologram-projection display, a multi-dimensional light-field display, and sensor-embedded panels, all of which will help users in a new era of multi-purpose, full-screen imagery.
